Mass IP configuration change-ILO boards

[ike Amador]

Greetings,

I have to change IP address, subnet mask and default gateways on all of our ILO boards. We currently have 200 ILO boards. Is there a way to automate this or do I have to go to each one with the pigtail and change them?

Thanks alot for your feedback.

Ike

Hello ike,

You could use the CPQLOCFG Utility to change the network settings of the ILO boards.

Download the HP Lights-Out Configuration Utility from here:
http://h18000.www1.hp.com/support/files/lights-out/us/download/23909.html

Download HP Lights-Out XML Scripting Sample for Windows:
http://h18013.www1.hp.com/support/files/lights-out/us/download/25058.html

In the Sample script files modify the "Mod_Network_Settings.xml" - Change the Lights-Out device Network Settings.

More information on how to use this utility refer the following guide section "Remote Insight command language"

http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/c00294268/c00294268.pdf

This utility can also be used with HP SIM or with RDP.
